Many affected infants present with catastrophic dehydration in the first few days of life, although the clinical phenotype is variable. Advances in the understanding of underlying pathomechanisms and genetic testing, as well as improved management, in particular intravenous nutrition support, have allowed affected patients to survive well beyond childhood. Awareness and understanding of these rare diseases are hence needed, both amongst paediatricians and adult physicians. In this review, we discuss the different groups of disorders based on a review of the current literature and provide a diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Many of the subtypes of CODE result in the need for prolonged or indefinite parenteral nutrition. Further research is needed to identify new CODE to improve the recognition and management of these children, which can assist in developing new targeted therapies and potentially a long-term cure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16172971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]],"date-time":"2024-09-03T08:38:47Z","timestamp":1725352727000},"page":"2971","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Congenital Diarrhoeas and Enteropathies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jutta","family":"K\u00f6glmeier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street, London WC1N 3JH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keith James","family":"Lindley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street, London WC1N 3JH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"712","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.41.4.712","article-title":"Intractable diarrhea in early infancy","volume":"41","author":"Avery","year":"1968","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.1038\/nrgastro.2015.44","article-title":"Congenital diarrhoeal disorders: Advances in this evolving web of inherited enteropathies","volume":"12","author":"Canani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat.
